On the other hand, to ignore the evidence that appears to be accumulating worldwide would take either a large dose of denial (which is apparently available in maximum dosages in many media quarters) or a desire to ignore the obvious.
Other factors also complicate answering this question readily.
1. Members who are survivors of this Illuminati group, and who leave, are reporting what they were taught within the text of cult programming. It can be difficult at times to separate cult rhetoric from the actualities that are occurring, or events may be interpreted with a bias due to the programming.
2. People will also be influenced by other factors, including : their core beliefs about humanity, religious faith, the nature of good and evil, and the possibility of organized abuse on a global level.
The Illuminati are funding the unfolding 'new' world order quietly, behind the scenes. They believe that money not only "talks" as the saying goes, but buys media coverage, or silence; protection; and the influence needed to shape our modern world. They are practical pragmitists, in spite of their occult bent, who understand the motivation that drives much of mankind: greed, or the desire to gain wealth and power.
Other indications of the worldwide agenda: The Illuminati have been slowly linking themselves with other world wide occult and religious organizations over the years. There are no press releases announcing the merger of Illuminist intellectualism with a local coven's leadership, but this has been occurring with regularity over the past decades. They have been funding paramilitary groups, extremist groups, and any groups with an agenda that includes hatred, ego-centricism, racism, or other isms to an extreme.
They are funding educational institutions, believing, and rightly so, that the youth of today will be moulded by their education. This influence is subtle, but certain classes have been opened up, or certain instructors brought in, due to the subtle influence of quiet businessmen who has contributed heavily over the years. Again, the cynical pragmatism of the Illuminati leadership comes out, as they wield influence with financial power; power gained, unfortunately, through their esoteric practices and contracts with evil.
Local and national media have been influenced for years by their financial pull. The average person would be slowly and unknowingly "edged towards" acceptance of more and more immorality and idolatry. All a person needs to do is read or look at a magazine from the 1950's and compare it to those on the market today; to watch a movie from 50 years ago (when John Wayne was considered "action") compared to a modern tale of violence and spirituality; or compare the changes in modern television programs to see that the media has had an enormous impact on society.
The Illuminati have not created our modern society's ills or weaknesses. But they have encouraged and exploited them, often laughing at the gullibility and lack of moral fibre of the "average citizen". We as human beings have created the familial and social climate that is present today in our country. More and more, this is a climate adversarial to fundamental Christianity and morality. Mankind without God will turn to fill the vacuum, and the Illuminati and other occult groups have rushed to fill it.
Are the Illuminati out to rule the world? Yes, and this is what they teach their members. They are working avidly towards this goal. But will they succeed? What is there to stand in their way? Nations of peoples being systematically programmed into giving their freewill away; permitting the Illuminati their centuries old dream of controlling the world through naivety and extreme gullibility. It is really time that the general public took a 'reality' check and were made aware of the covertness of the Illuminati missions .... if The Illuminati were totally confident of their success then they would be operating their take over bid out in the open.
The very fact their operations are covert and under wraps ... hidden away from the common mortal man .... indicates the Illuminati are SCARED of common mortal man.. their end result is not a certainty. It means they are vulnerable and can be prevented in their mission. This truth is the key to preventing them from their goal.
